MGS: Rising won't be exclusive to the 360, it will just be on the 360. It is also coming to PS3 and PC.
The technology behind project Natal looks amazing, it seemed really responsive in the on stage demo. But technology is one thing; actually putting it into practical use is another. They will have to come up with something really amazing to not make it totally gimmicky. Why swipe my hands horizontally and vertically to navigate the NXE menu when I can use 1 thumb and an analogue stick?
I don't really want to use my whole body as a controller and flail about like a ragdoll like that woman was on stage. Im not really a great fan of over gestured wii games. The Eye Toy was really fun, for about 5 seconds then you never wanted to use it again, I could see this being very similar.
Also I find it funny when Nintendo release something then it's just stupid but if Sony or Microsoft release something then its inspired genius. Take Mario Kart Wii, using a plastic wheel to play a game is just stupid but apparently using an imaginary wheel in front of a camera is amazing and innovative.
Overall though I think Microsoft had a good conference. I wonder if Nintendos will bomb like last year or if it will be any good.
